The option is blank. Does it mean KCC is enable ?

Following are the values for Option. If it is not set then KCC will be running normal.

¿To disable automatic intra-site topology generation, use value 1 (decimal).

¿To disable both intra-site and inter-site topology generation, use value 17 (decimal).
